Review by Tina

"Wow!

I have to say, I am so happy on went out on a limb and started taking lessons with Samara. It has all been 100% worth it and more. I was attracted t

o her profile because of her ability to integrate private yoga instruction. As an aspiring actress that struggles with stage fright, I started noticing that my yoga practice helped me to be more present in life and my acting work and I wanted to find someone who could help me explore that. Samara is a perfect fit. Sometimes we just work a monologue from many angles that allow me to clear any blockages I had with the text or character before. Then, her awesome yoga exercises and sequences totally just chill me out and help me connect with what's going on in my mind-body. It's the perfect antidote to my self-doubt. After only a few lessons, I am finding that I trust myself in my auditions, and also in my life relationships, and I don't feel nervous about presenting what wants to emerge through me. I feel confident in the artist I am! Thanks Samara!!"

"Jennifer is a calm, welcoming, elegant teacher with an ability to bring her students gradually and wisely into the poses. Her intentional class framework

helped me to release deeper into King Pigeon than I ever had before. She creates a very pleasant, supportive space so her students can relax and focus. I highly recommend her!"

"I've been practicing yoga for a few years now pretty regularly. I have been to a multitude of Laura's classes. She is simply just one of the best yoga ins

tructors I've taken classes from. She is so highly skilled at gauging her students, pushing everyone of her students just the right amount. Laura does this with the utmost patience and sweetness. She's knowledgeable in many different types of yoga and can custom build yoga classes to strengthen or sooth any group of muscles you might need. I walk away from her yoga classes feeling like a million bucks and usually raving to someone about the class."

Review by A

"So far, Laura has given me one private yoga lesson, and it was excellent. Before our meeting, she asked me what problem areas I wanted to work on and came

prepared with a list of probably 20 poses to show me. I had never taken a yoga class before, so I was understandably awkward and inflexible, but she was very patient in showing me the correct way to accomplish each pose. She was receptive to feedback throughout the lesson about what felt good and what didn’t feel quite right, and gently corrected me as we went along.

Additionally, I’ve worked with Laura for several years in a project management capacity. She’s fluent in Portuguese and has an excellent command of French and Spanish. I’ve seen her prep work for one of her private language students and can tell that she cares deeply about teaching, and puts quite a bit of time into preparing for each lesson. I would highly recommend her for any type of lessons you’re looking to take!"

I feel really grateful for the personal time and energy she's poured into my yogic education.

I have been teaching PiYo (pilates/yoga) at 24 hour Fitness for over 2 years. A fun integrative approach of cardio, strength training, balance, core work, and flexibility!I recently finished my 200 hour certification as a yogi and looking to be creative in my approach. I take a yin (gentle/effortless) approach during the integrative (beginning) and surrender (end) series while incorporating the yang (asanas/effort) during the bulk of my practice creating a balanced flow. I also enjoy incorporating music and meditation as part of my practice given my background as a music therapist.

Natalie is a superb teacher! We are thrilled to have found such a compassionate, dedicated, competent teacher. She provides my daughter with excellent lessons of consistency, practice, review of previous lessons and introduction to new material. My daughter is so excited for her lessons because Natalie is so positive and enriching in her teaching style. Natalie exudes happiness, knowledge in the subject matter, and an overall engaging personality. My daughter has made leaps and bounds since starting lessons several months ago. We highly recommend Natalie as a singing teacher!!!

RYT in Hatha, Sivananda, Kundalini. Sound Yoga Therapy™ (SYT) developed by Teresa S, MMus, RYT is a foundational mindfulness based meditation approach rooted in Western musical theory and vocal pedagogy, North Indian classical music, yoga, Buddhism and other contemplative traditions. Sound Yoga Therapy™ sessions guide participants to allow sound vibrations to become "objects" of attention. Sound is used both actively and passively as created by vocal toning, tuning forks, other vibrating instruments and verbal instruction. Some of the benefits reported by participants of SYT are deep relaxation, increased vitality, enhanced concentration and physical, mental and emotional well-being.

About Teresa

I grew up performing and singing. My family loved music and the arts and we went to the theater, ballet and symphony all the time in Houston Texas. My mother used to play music to get me to sleep when I was very young. She played opera by the famous Italian tenor Caruso and symphonic music by the French Impressionist composer Debussy. As a teenager I played the guitar and sang folk and pop songs with my friends. When I became an adult my interest turned back to classical music and opera as I had heard as a toddler. Eventually I found myself on stage singing opera in New York City and classical chamber music at Tanglewood in the Berkshires.
I began teaching voice while I was getting a Bachelor's Degree in Music at the University of Texas. When I came to New York City I opened the Vocal

I am a certified yoga instructor teaching in many locations throughout Westchester. I was trained at Yoga Haven in Scarsdale, New York with Betsy Kase, and earned a 200-hour certificate in Asana, Pranayama, and Meditation. I offer private yoga instruction at my home studio. My studio comes fully equipped with all yoga props, aromatherapy, and music. Hands-on-assists and personalized classes offered to deepen your experience.

My journey into the world of yoga began when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a pervasive autoimmune disease characterized by pain in the body. Since then I have learned to use my practice to heal my physical body, calm my emotional body, and bring balance into my life. Yoga is a way to connect the mind and the body and to become aware of the spirit. Yoga has changed my life and I work to cater each class to meet the needs of the individual present.

Music therapy has afforded me a great deal of experience working with children, teens, and adults with special needs including, autism, Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy, emotional disturbances and developmental delays.
As a voice teacher, I want to help my students settle comfortably into their own musicality by showing them the building blocks of a solid technique, drawing particularly from the things that helped me grow as a vocalist. I want my students to feel strong in their body, comfortable and ...

Wonderful Teacher

My son loves working with Jillian. He has never been exposed to singing before but wanted to give it a try and so far he is enjoying it.

Jillian's really smart and nice

I started taking lessons with Jillian around when i started high school a couple years ago. I play french horn in school, and I'm considering studying music in college, so I definitely needed to know more music theory. I play guitar too, so we started studying songwriting, too, so that I can write some songs with my band. Jillian's so nice, and really smart, so she makes it really easy to learn! I really like classes with her.

One of the best teachers I have ever had

I am a 15 years old and have been taking lessons with Jillian for about a year and a half. I started out as a beginner and she was so patient with me and encouraged me continuously so that I can feel confident in myself. She also made the experience so much fun, while other teachers I've had made it stressful. She is also so knowledgable and talented but never made me feel bad that i wasnt at her level. Jillian is also cares about all her students and their progress. I cant recommend her enough to everyone who wants to learn!!

I specialize in teaching yoga/music classes to children. The classes involve breathing techniques, movement and song.
